See Wikipedia:Categories for deletion policies for the official rules of this page, and how to do cleanup.

Deletion of a category may mean that the articles and images in it are directly put in its parent category, or that another subdivision of the parent category is made. If they are already members of more suitable categories, it may also mean that they become a member of one category less.

How to use this page

Know if the category you are looking at needs deleting (or to be created). If it is a "red link" and has no articles or subcategories, then it is already deleted (more likely, it was never really created in the first place), and does not need to be listed here.
Read and understand Wikipedia:Categorization before using this page. Nominate categories that violate policies here, or are misspelled, mis-capitalized, redundant/need to be merged, not NPOV, small without potential for growth, or are generally bad ideas. (See also Wikipedia:Naming conventions and Wikipedia:Manual of Style.)
Please read the Wikipedia:Categorization of people policy if nominating or voting on a people-related category.
Unless the category to be deleted is non-controversial – vandalism or a duplicate, for example – please do not depopulate the category (remove the tags from articles) before the community has made a decision.
Add {{cfd}} to the category page for deletion. (If you are recommending that the category be renamed, you may also add a note giving the suggested new name.) This will add a message to it, and also put the page you are nominating into Category:Categories for deletion. It's important to do this to help alert people who are watching or browsing the category.
1. Alternately, use the rename template like this: {{cfr|newname}}
2. If you are concerned with a stub category, make sure to inform the WikiProject Stub sorting
Add new deletion candidates under the appropriate day near the top of this page.
1. Alternatively, if the category is a candidate for speedy renaming (see Wikipedia:Category renaming), add it to the speedy category at the bottom.
Make sure you add a colon (:) in the link to the category being listed, like [[:Category:Foo]]. This makes the category link a hard link which can be seen on the page (and avoids putting this page into the category you are nominating).
Sign any listing or vote you make by typing ~~~~ after your text.
Link both categories to delete and categories to merge into. Failure to do this will delay consideration of your suggestion.

Special notes

Some categories may be listed in Category:Categories for deletion but accidently not listed here.

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Category:Kevin Costner albums

Propose deleting Category:Kevin Costner albums (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: There has only been one item in this category for the last sixteen years. Overcategorization. Nicholas0 (talk) 12:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Breeds originating from Indigenous people

Propose renaming Category:Breeds originating from Indigenous people to Category:Mammal breeds originating from Indigenous people

Nominator's rationale: rename for clarification. Also, I have just added this to the tree of Category:Mammal breeds. An alternative could be to upmerge the category to Category:Mammal breeds and Category:Indigenous culture. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Philippine Sports Commission

~~Propose deleting~~ Category:Philippine Sports Commission (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Unneeded eponymous category that contains nothing apart from the main article. Paul_012 (talk) 04:04, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: In light of the population of the category since the nomination, I'm willing to withdraw my nomination (though it should continue as there has also been another delete !vote). --Paul_012 (talk) 12:11, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose At the time of nominate, indeed the category contained only the eponymous article. I have since added applicable entries to the category. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 06:33, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lean delete, I can't think of any other example of buildings and structures categorized by who maintains them. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:56, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Multiple citizenship

Option A: rename Category:Multiple citizenship to Category:Multiple nationality.

OR: option B: rename Category:People with multiple nationality to Category:People with multiple citizenship.

Rationale: consistency. Until other arguments weigh in, option B is the preferred option per article title Multiple citizenship. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:51, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Asian conservative liberals

Propose deleting Category:Asian conservative liberals (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Propose deleting Category:Conservative liberals (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Propose deleting Category:Liberal theorists (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: These categories are extremely vague. An extremely CFD on classically similar categories have been purged Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_June_3#Classical_liberals Mason (talk) 02:22, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then what about Category:European conservative liberals and subcategories? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:03, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:LGBT men artists

Propose renaming Category:LGBT men artists to Category:LGBT male artists

Nominator's rationale: Moving to [full]. Norm is "Male artists". For the record, the speedy rename was supported by the category creator. @MikutoH and Marcocapelle: discussants. Mason (talk) 12:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per LGBT men, Transgender men and their eponymous categories. Calling transgender men "male" could be slightly awkward. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:37, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle: then all these categories need renaming. --MikutoH ^talk! 22:59, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand how this is awkward. @Marcocapelle Trans men who do art are male artists. Mason (talk) 02:27, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Smasongarrison: the terms female and male are often associated with sex assigned at birth. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle: I asked an expert and that is a myth. Polygnotus (talk) 06:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is not about facts (so it can't be a myth), this is just how language is being used. For example [1]. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:06, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Marcocapelle: The expert said that Calling transgender men "male" could be slightly awkward. is a lexicological myth. I am not sure why you linked to that webpage. The expert also said: "Male" and "female" can refer to gender, "man" and "woman" to sex. Trans men who do art are male artists. Polygnotus (talk) 11:24, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why Category:Male artists and Category:Women artists but not Category:Men artists or Category:Female artists? Is it because of grammar or something else? --MikutoH ^talk! 23:02, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MikutoH are you going to make vote? You're allowed as the category creator. Mason (talk) 02:26, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Literary critics by ethnicity

Propose merging Category:Literary critics by ethnicity to Category:Literary critics

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need to have a single category isolated like this. Mason (talk) 01:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:18, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I created the category because I needed a parent category for Category:Aromanian literary critics. Now it is getting nominated for deletion. Sooner or later someone editing in the Kurdish topic area (for example) will also need this category (unless no Kurdish literary critics have ever existed). They'll create the category and again it will have one single member and find itself here. What is the sense of this? Just leave the category and it will enlarge with time. There is no benefit from this. Super Ψ Dro 09:28, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now there's another category. Super Ψ Dro 09:48, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
